JARRED: ALL RIGHT.
THE FALL WEATHER IS HERE.TIME TO
GET COZY IN A MOVIE THEATER.
WE HAVE LOCAL FILM CRITIC DALE
POLLOCK
IS HERE TO HELP YOU PICK OUT A
FILM FOR YOUR NEXT MOVIE DATE.
THANKS FOR JOINING US.
FIRST. "BIRTH OF A NATION"
FOLLOWS THE STORY OF NAT TURNER
A SLAVE PREACHER TRYING TO LEAD
HIS PEOPLE TO FREEDOM. HOW WAS
THIS ONE?
DALE: THE ORIGINAL "BIRTH OF THE
NATION" IN 1915 WAS THE MOST
RACIST FILM OF ALL TIME.
THIS IS NOT REALLY RESPONSE TO
IT.
THIS IS ACTUALLY THE STORY OF
THAT TURNER WHO -- NAT TURNER
WHO LED A SLAVE REBELLION.
IT'S A NOBLE -- I DON'T FEEL
LIKE IT SUCCEEDS.
THIS IS THE FIRST FILM BY WRITER
DIRECTOR NATE PARKER AND IT
SHOWS.
I THINK THE FILM IS INTERESTING,
IT'S NOT THAT COMPELLING AND
THIS STORY SHOULD BE REALLY
COMPELLING THE WAY "12 YEARS A
SLAVE" WAS LOOKING AT THE SAME
WORLD.
JARRED: PEOPLE HAVE TALKED ABOUT
IT BEING A COMMERCIAL FLOP BUT
IT'S MADE A LOT OF MONEY FOR HOW
MUCH IT COSTS.
DALE: IT WAS AN EXPENSIVE
INDEPENDENT FILM.
IT COST ALMOST $20 MILLION.
IT DID NOT DO AS WELL AS
EXPECTED AND THAT IS BECAUSE OF
THESE RAPE ALLEGATIONS THAT
SURFACED ABOUT THE DIRECTOR AND
HIS CO-WRITER.
AND HE WAS ACQUITTED LEGALLY BUT
THIS WILL STILL COME BACK TO
HAUNT HIM.
JARRED: NEXT."NOW WHAT?" IS
COMEDIAN
KEVIN HART'S LATEST STAND-UP
CONCERT FILM. WHAT DID YOU THINK
OF THIS ONE?
DALE: HE SAYS THIS IS GOING TO
BE HIS LAST STAND-UP SPECIAL.
IN A WAY, I HOPE HE IS.
I THINK THIS IS HIS SEVEN OR
EIGHT OF THEM.
KEVIN HART IS A FUNNY GUY.
HE HAS FUNNY MATERIAL AND HE
MAKES IT WORK HERE.
THIS IS A REALLY KIND OF SILLY
PRECONCERT SEQUENCE WHERE HE'S
LIKE A JAMES BOND CHARACTER.
IT'S GOT DON CHEADLE AND HALLE
BERRY AND EVERYBODY LOOKS LIKE
THEY'RE WASTING THEIR TIME ON
THIS.
LIKE LET'S GET TO THE JOKES.
WHEN HE GET TO HIS MATERIAL,
HE'S FUNNY.
IT'S AN ENORMOUS CROWD.
THEY USED 84 CAMERAS ON THIS.
IN A WAY, THERE'S TOO MANY
AUDIENCE SHOTS.
STAY ON KEVIN HART.
HE'S THE REASON YOU'RE THERE.
JARRED: GOTCHA.
FINALLY.."THE ACCOUNTANT" TELLS
THE STORY OF A C-P-A WHO'S
GOTTEN IN OVER HIS HEAD WITH A
NEW CLIENT. WHAT'S THIS ONE
ABOUT?
DALE: THIS IS BEN AFFLECK
PLAYING AN AUTISTIC MAN.
AND I THINK THIS MAY BE THE
FIRST MOVIE THAT FEATURE AN
AUTISTIC CHARACTER FA LEAD ROLE.
I'M NOT SURE IT CAUSE GREAT
THING FOR AUTISM BECAUSE WHAT HE
DOES IS MURDER, HIGH LEVEL CRIME
FIGURES WHO HE FEELS HAS
BETRAYED HIM.
HE IS AN AMAZING ACCOUNTANT AND
THAT MEANS HE'S KIND OF A BORING
CHARACTER.
HE'S AWE TAUSK SO HE'S MORE
SHUTDOWN.
THE POTENTIAL ROMANCE WITH ANNA
KENDRICK NEVER HAPPENS AND
ULTIMATELY, HE DOESN'T LET YOU
INTO THE CHARACTER AND THAT'S A
PROBLEM FOR THIS MOVIE, WHICH
GETS REALLY SILLY BY ITS END
FILLED WITH RIDICULOUS
COINCIDENCES.
JARRED: GOTCHA.
THANKS A L FOR STOPPING BY,
DALE.
